VICTORIA, BC, Sept. 22, 2014 /CNW/ - T-Bird Pharma Inc. (TSXV:TPI) ("T-Bird" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing premium quality medical marijuana products, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Thunderbird Biomedical Inc. ("Thunderbird"), has signed a definitive lease agreement for a second facility located in Victoria, BC.

Architectural and engineering work has started and the Company expects infrastructure work to commence in October. Based on the time required for municipal permitting and construction, Thunderbird aims to have the first Health Canada inspection of the new facility in Q1-2015.

Upon completion of the first phase of construction at the facility and licensing by Health Canada the increase in growing capacity will be clearly significant. "After fine tuning our pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing processes at our current facility (3,100 square feet) we are excited to be executing on the first phase of a multi-phase expansion of our business. We look forward to demonstrating the scalability of our platform while ensuring a consistent premium quality product for the Canadian market," said Rob Gagnon, CEO of T-Bird.
